Shows that feel likeGen V (2023–2025)
If you loved Gen V, the closest series we have are The Boys (2019), Agatha All Along (2024) and The Gifted (2017). All three share Gen V's cerebral and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is ONE PIECE (2023).
If Gen V hit the spot, these will too

Both are working the same pair: superhero, superpowers
The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than Gen V does

Dark comedy that lets awful, watchable people run the show
The difference: Witchy MCU puzzle-box — mischief instead of gore and satire

Young people with powers treated as problems by the powerful
The difference: Earnest network sci-fi — no satire, no gore, no bite

The next generation of heroes inheriting a complicated legacy
The difference: Wholesome to its core — Vought-style cynicism doesn't exist here

One thread runs through both: superhero

Both land momentum and scale at once

A superhero show happy to mock its own genre's clichés
The difference: Goofy CW sincerity — the irreverence stays family-safe

A powered protagonist untangling the corporation built on his name
The difference: Widely the weakest Marvel-Netflix run — sluggish and po-faced

The same mix in both: stillness, then ideas

Superpowered kids buckling under their elders' impossible standards
The difference: Cancelled after one muddled season — the ideas outrun the show

Powers as a burden that puts everyone you love at risk
The difference: Grounded and moral — a hero show without the venom

Both keep coming back to the same thing: superpowers
